Getting a flat tire on an electric bike is about the worst mechanical obstacle possible. With an e-bike, you want to charge it, ride it and forget about it. When you get a flat tire on an e-bike, though,
there are a few things that can happen. If you are prepared with an
extra tube and you have to maneuver the heavy bike in such a way to
get the wheels off, use wrenches or other tools to get the wheels off
(having carrying tools with you at all times). In rear-drive motors you
must disconnect the wires and cables from the battery to the motor
and then fix a 15-pound wheel. If you are not prepared, you may be
lugging your heavy e-bike miles to the nearest shop. Listed are a variety of options and products that will help in the fight against flat tires
and the headache that goes along with them.
